fuel system 200 1980

I am having a fuel economy issue. My fuel economy has been cut in half. It is only getting 15 mpg. I was getting about 30+ before. I am also experiencing this stinking egg smell when you drive for any long distance. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? you can contact me at Mwalker5@mn.rr.com

    When my mileage was lousy I changed the fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap, rotor and FPR. Dramatic improvement!
    Stinking eggs might be the fuse box?

      Stinking eggs is classic catalytic convertor plugged symptoms. I'd check that first. A plugged cat will cause all kinds of issues and poor mileage will be one of them...
